Errands such as receiving an audience with a foreign mission are beautiful errands, and they are all errands that everyone rushes to do.

For as long as the officials who received them were clever and bold enough, they could take the opportunity to ask for gifts and money from the people in the mission, because everything that the mission and his party had to do in King's Landing was subject to these officials, and they had to ask for their needs, and they did not dare to offend them easily, and they often offered heavy gifts, and they did not dare to speak out, but only swallowed their anger. Therefore, just like the Qingshui Yamen such as Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, officials can only make a fortune through this way if they want a little gray income. And even if they accidentally let the imperial court know about their despicable behavior of blackmailing the mission, because it is not the money of the country that is embezzled, but only the foreign mission that is oppressed, the criminal department and Dali Temple will turn a blind eye, and the punishment will not be too heavy.

Therefore, in the usual times, whoever gets such an errand often means that he has to make a fortune.

But this time was different, when Emperor Yan sent a holy decree to the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to assist the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to receive the Three Kingdoms Mission this time, Chen Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Ye Qingchen, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, frowned, and were silent for a long time, without saying a word.

Chen Yan felt that it was of great significance for Dayan to receive the envoys of the Lingnan Yi tribe, Xishu and the Eastern Wilderness at the same time this time, especially when the envoys of the Three Kingdoms came together violently, and wanted to make peace with Dayan, the first thing that Dayan should ensure was the etiquette, food and safety in the reception, only if this aspect was impeccable, could he bargain with the Three Kingdoms missions in other aspects, if this aspect was not done carefully enough, and he would lose the face of the Heavenly Empire, how could he dictate the Three Kingdoms in the palace, When the time comes, let the missions of the three countries seize the handle of their own side and pour their own side into one army, and then things will be difficult to do. So he felt that a reception task like this one could not be neglected, and now that His Majesty had sent the Nine Emperor Princes to his side to assist in the work, he thought that letting a prince who didn't know anything participate in it would definitely get in the way.

The worries in the heart of Ye Qingchen, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, were different from Chen Yan.

He thinks that his nephew Ji Qingchen's participation in this mission is a very unclear choice. He felt that the situation of the three kingdom missions like this reception of Lingnan, Xishu and Donghuang was more special, given that the purpose of Lingnan's visit this time was to make peace with Dayan, and it was also to unite Xishu and Donghuang at the same time, there will be a lot of problems involved, as long as there is a little mistake in the process of reception, it may cause a big mistake, and then Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites will not be able to get rid of it, and at this time, let your nephew assist, I am afraid it is not just to earn some credit.

Because if you can complete the task excellently, it can only mean that this is what the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple should do, but if there is any mistake, your nephew will not only be reprimanded by His Majesty, but it will be so easy, I am afraid that the ministers of the DPRK and China will not let go of such an opportunity to fall into the ground, especially like the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who are now idle and painful. Besides, he didn't believe that there was such a good chance to put his nephew to death, and the enemies who hid in the shadows and wanted to kill their nephew would give up such an excellent opportunity with their eyes open. So he thinks that no matter what, His Majesty asked Ji Qingchen to assist him and Chen Yan this time, and he pushed his nephew into the fire pit.

What do you want to do? This is also a question that Ye Qingchen is considering, but he can't figure it out!

And when the princes in King's Landing heard the news, a long-lost smile appeared on everyone's faces. Because they knew what the purpose of Lingnan and Xishu and Donghuang came to King's Landing to meet this time, it was to force marriage from Dayan and ask Dayan for more things they needed.

And this time is definitely an opportunity to strike at Ji Qingchen, who can threaten his fight for the position of the East Palace. How could they let it go? The happiest people among them are the eight princes Ji Qian and the sixth prince Ji Yong. The eighth prince lost to Ji Qingchen in a polo game, and he has always been haunted in his heart, so he will never die with Ji Qingchen, as for the sixth prince, it is because Ji Qingchen beheaded Zhou Ning in the Kunshan military camp.

Of course, these princes are still only thinking about it in their hearts, and they have not immediately gathered their henchmen to start plotting good strategies.

But there are two people who can't wait, they are Wang You, the secretary of the ministry, and his third son, Wang Wenhe of Dali Temple. That afternoon, when Wang Wenhe learned the content of this holy decree issued by Emperor Yan, he was first stunned, and a little frustrated felt that Ji Qingchen's luck was so good, and such a beauty could fall on his head, and then his heart moved, and he found that he wanted to find an opportunity to punish the Nine Emperor Princes, and now the opportunity will come? Immediately, his frustration disappeared, and he couldn't wait to go to his father's study with excitement and told Wang You the news.

After hearing this, Wang You also showed a long-lost smile on his face, and he squinted his eyes and said, "What a godsend!" ”

"Father thinks so, too?" Wang Wenhe asked idiotically, "This is a good opportunity to clear the opponent of the Second Highness, the Nine Emperor Princes?" ”

"What are you going to do? Have you thought of a countermeasure? Wang You's mood seemed to be very good, he ignored his son's idiotic performance just now, and asked after a deep sigh, "This time, we are willing to take such a big risk to cut off the way for the Nine Emperor Princes to enter the East Palace, we must have full certainty, we must completely defeat the Nine Emperor Princes at one time, and we can't leave him room to turn over, otherwise he will become our henchmen in the future." ”

"Father, is this what the second prince means?" Wang Wenhe asked a little worriedly.

After all, if there was no Ji Ping's approval, just by their father and son, if they did this, it would be tantamount to rebellion against the Great Yan Emperor, even if their father and son were the children of the King's Landing Wang Clan, one of the seven great families of the Great Yan, I am afraid they would not be able to withstand the wrath of the Yan Emperor! If there is Ji Ping's participation, it will be different, because they can take Ji Ping as the mastermind, they are just accomplices, so that in the future, Emperor Yan wants to blame them, and the first punishment is the second prince Ji Ping, and with the second prince Ji Ping, this matter is an internal storage struggle, and it will not be regarded as a rebellion.

"For the sake of my father, the second prince will definitely think the same way, but it's not too late to tell him when we have a mature plan," Wang You said slowly, "Have you thought of any good ideas?" ”

"Well, not yet!" Wang Wenhe said embarrassedly. He was only happy just now, but he didn't think about how to deal with Ji Qingchen.

"Chen Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is just a corrupt Confucian, and he has long lost the blood of his ancestor Chen Qingzhi, it is not difficult to deal with him, but we are not afraid." Wang You calmly analyzed, "As for Ye Qingchen, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, this person seems to be doing nothing, and he didn't pay much attention to his father before, but this time he was able to bring the Nine Emperor Princes back to Dayan from the hands of the new monarch and the queen mother, just with this ability, he is not a simple person!" Moreover, he is also the uncle of the Nine Emperor Princes, and he is bent on thinking that his nephew can live in the East Palace. So, for him, we can't take it lightly. ”

Wang You paused, and seeing that his son was quietly listening to his analysis, he continued, "As for the Nine Emperor Prince Ji Qingchen, judging from his performance after arriving in King's Landing, he is indeed a resourceful person, but he seems to be not stable enough, impetuous, and does not know how to keep his head down; It is said that he is talented, and there is no talent in his chest. In this case, our focus should be on the Lingnan and Western Shu and Eastern Wilderness missions. ”

Wang Wenhe listened to his father's analysis quietly, seemed to have a little understanding, and kept nodding, "Please rest assured, father, I will definitely come up with a brilliant plan to make the Nine Emperor Princes disqualified from competing for the seat of the East Palace this time." ”

Faced with his son's promise, Wang You didn't speak again, just waved his hand lightly, signaling Wang Wenhe to leave.

Wang Wenhe left the study in understanding.

As for Ji Qingchen, after he came out of the imperial study, he went to Concubine De's Qianqiu Palace, chatted with Concubine De for nearly two hours, and briefly talked about his life in the mansion like his mother's concubine, and when he saw the relief in his mother's eyes, he left the Qianqiu Palace, and he didn't tell his mother about his father's will, so as not to worry about his mother. By the time he left the palace and returned to the palace, it was already late in the evening. As soon as he arrived at the study, he found that his uncle Ye Qingchen was already waiting for him in the study. The moment he saw Ye Qingchen, he knew that his father had sent his will to Honglu Temple. It's just that in the face of Ye Qingchen's inquiry, he didn't make a single explanation. Because even he didn't know why his father would let him assist Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites to do such a thankless task.

Ye Qingchen saw that his nephew was also confused, so he stopped asking. The two of them sat quietly in the study for half an hour before Ye Qingchen said lightly, "Since you don't know what such an appointment is for Your Majesty Dao?" Don't think about it anymore, there is an uncle in everything. However, Chen Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the successor of Chen Qingzhi, a famous general of Dayan, and a great Confucian at home, and is appreciated and valued by His Majesty, so you will visit him tomorrow and listen to his opinion. ”

"Don't worry, uncle, Qingchen will go tomorrow!" Ji Qingchen replied immediately. For people like Chen Yan who did not participate in the partisan struggle of the princes of Dayan, he had no resistance in his heart.

"Yes! Also, in the past few days, you should pay more attention to the movements of the princes, don't go to their mansions for banquets easily, and don't follow their Tao like last time. Ye Qingchen continued.

"Yes!" Ji Qingchen nodded slightly.

Then the two of them sat for a moment without saying a word, and Ye Qingchen left!
